Yeah, we get it, we're not BC and we don't have as much terrain to work with but what we do have is a huge rider base and keen communities embracing bike culture. We're growing and tourism is following. What you'll find is an amazing diversity of trail types and styles from Hinton to Crowsnest Pass. From the insane amount of river valley trails in Edmonton to the jaw dropping vistas and historic trails of Jasper. Look around every community and you'll find something to ride, even if it's just the imagination of the kids dreaming big.
